The Other Wes Moore left its Baltimore author on the eve of his departure for Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. In his new book, Moore recounts the lessons learned from travel and study, from the battlefields of Afghanistan, the Bush White House, the first Obama presidential campaign—and even a stint in Wall Street banking. As his experiences teach him to think of work as a kind of mission, Moore completes the circle, returning to Baltimore where he applies his wisdom and compassion to effecting lasting change.

Two kids named Wes Moore were born blocks apart within a year of each other. Both grew up fatherless in similar Baltimore neighborhoods; both hung out on street corners with their crews; both ran into trouble with the police. How, then, did one grow up to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader, while the other ended up a convicted murderer serving a life sentence? Wes Moore, the author of this fascinating book, sets out to answer this profound question.
